HUGH ROSS, 'OF SHEBOYGAN, WISCONSIN.

. GLOVE.

Application filed October 15, 1919. Serial No. 330,771.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HUGH Ross, a citizen of the United States, residingat Sheboygan, in the county of Sheboygan and State of Wisconsin, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Gloves, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to gloves.

The objects of the invention are to provide a simple and neat glovewhich is expansible at the wrist whereby the glove may be easily slippedon and off of the hand, said glove being capable of being drawn snuglyaround the wrist and adjustably fastened in a neat and novel manner,preventing any bunching of the material at any undesirable points.

This and other objects are accomplished by means of the glove disclosedin the accompanying sheet of drawings in which:

Figure 1 is a plan view of a glove embodying my invention, the glovebeing shown as fastened;

Fig. 2 is a fragmentary plan view of the same glove in an opencondition; and

Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the same glove taken in the plane of line33 of Fig. 1.

The various novel features of my invention will be apparent from thefollowing description and drawings and will'be particularly pointed outin the appended claims.

Referring to the figures of the drawings it will be noted that my gloveincludes a body portion 10 in which, at the wrist, there is inserted aflexible gore 11, this gore making the glove expansible at the wrist tofacilitate slipping the glove on and off of the hand. A strap 12 isprovided, both ends of which. are anchored at 13 and 14 to the body ofthe glove on the same side of the gore 11, one end of the strap beingsecured directly adjacent the gore, while the other end 13 is securedremotely therefrom and in line with the thumb of the glove. In View ofthe fact that gloves of the same size fit the hands of persons whosewrists vary greatly in size I have provided a fastening member 15 whichis adjustably mounted upon the strap 12. Secured to the body of theglove at the side of the gore opposite the strap 12 is a tab 16 carryinga fastening button or member 17 which cooperates with the fasteningmember 15 for fastening the glove around the wrist. The degree ofsnugness It will be noted that the flexible gore 11 e is inserted intothe body portion of the glove 10 in the front or palm side of thegloveand at one side thereof, the purpose of this being to prevent anyundesirable bunching or bulging of the glove in the middle of the hand.By referring to Fig. 3 of the drawings it will be noted that theappearance of the glove by means of this arrangement is maintained veryuniform, this belng made possible by placing the gore in the placedescribed and also by placing the fastenlng members in positions suchthat they will engage each other to fasten the glove at a pointsubstantially in the middle of the palm side of the glove. Whether ornot the glove is provided with a lining 19 the undesirable bunching ofmaterial is avoided. By anchoring the strap 12 at both ends its positionis definitely fixed and adjustment of the fastening member 15 forcontrolling the degree of snugness of the gloye around the wrist may beadjusted to a nicety.

It is my intention to cover all modifications of the invention fallingwithin the spirit and scope of the following claims.

I claim:

A glove including a body portion, a flexible gore set into said bodyportion at the wrist, a strap anchored at both ends to the body portionat the wrist, a fastening member adjustable on said strap, and a tabsecured to the body portion adjacent one side of the gore and carrying afastening member to cooperate with said other fastening member forfastening the glove snugly around the wrist.
